Red Devils looking to move up Premier League table against the Eagles
Manchester United are looking to build on a decent week when they host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
Lisandro Martinez scored the winner as United beat Fulham 1-0 last time out before Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils overcame FCSB 2-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night.
It’s now three consecutive victories for United, albeit they remain 12th in the Premier League table.
Oliver Glasner’s Palace lost 2-1 at home to Brentford to end their impressive unbeaten streak but will surely fancy their chances against this inconsistent United side.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace is scheduled for a 2pm GMT kick-off time on Sunday 3 February 2025.
Old Trafford in Manchester will host.
TV channel and live stream: The game will not be broadcast live in the UK.

Luke Shaw is back in Manchester United training

Luke Shaw recently returned to United training but sat out of the midweek game, so a decision will need to be made on the left-back. Marcus Rashford is not expected to be involved as his exile from the first-team continues.
Victor Lindelof is available again, although Mason Mount and Jonny Evans are injured. Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo both started on the bench on Thursday but should return from the off here.
Palace have lost defender Chadi Riad to a serious knee injury, although the news is more positive in regard to Adam Wharton – with the midfielder set to resume full training.
Joel Ward is a doubt, along with Cheick Doucoure. Matheus Franca is not expected to feature.
United still don’t fully convince and Palace will no doubt fancy their chances.
Crystal Palace to win, 2-1.
Manchester United wins: 41
Draws: 14
Crystal Palace wins: 12
Man Utd to win: 21/20
Draw: 12/5
Crystal Palace to win: 11/4
